Take a look at an organized physics course. The 34-section electronic textbook covers material in AP® Physics 1 and 2. Teachers use the text to supplement lectures and have the class work through the labs. Each section contains...

Students see illustrated diagrams and animations to help them understand the pressure characteristics of a sound wave.

After looking at a representative two-point source interference pattern with accompanying order numbers, students investigate the rationale behind the numbering system, and develop some mathematical equations that relate the features of...

Students explore the characteristics of both transverse and longitudinal waves.

With sample data, equations, and practice problems, students explore the concept of wave speed.

Students analyze harmonic patterns through several example problems and interactive practice examples.

This illustrated physics tutorial explains the electromagnetic and visible spectra of light using illustrated examples and interactive practice problems.

Students investigate the underlying causes of two-point source interference pattern. They also discover that the spatial separation between the antinodal and nodal lines in the pattern is related to the wavelength of the waves.

Utilize this wiki-type page created by students and faculty members to gain a higher understanding of the electromagnetic waves. Study the equations to comprehend how different variables can affect characteristics of wavelengths.

Acting as a subtopic of the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook's section on Atoms and the Periodic Table, this site discusses wavelength and the uncertainty principle. Information is also provided on de Broglie wavelength and electron...

Acting as part of an overview on quantum theory, this section of the site answers the question, what is a wave? In addition to a definition, several examples and formulas are provided.

A handy resource that gives an overview of equations and definitions pertinent to an introductory, college-level physics course, with two of its three sections focusing on motion-related topics and principles.
